    A Sty :-
    Get a thorn from a gooseberry bush and point it at the sty nine times.
    Other people believe that if a married woman named Mary made the Sign of the Cross three times on the sty, that it would be cured.
    Chillblains :-
    Wash your feet in the trough that the blacksmith is after putting the red hot irons into.
